How it works
Under the 1991 lead acid battery law, every retailer of vehicle, aviation or marine lead acid batteries must accept a used one from the public during business hours when it is offered in exchange with the sale of a new battery, and must post a notice saying so. Lead acid batteries may not be thrown away.
Cost & rules
- Vehicle, aviation and marine lead acid batteries only.
- The store must take a used lead acid battery during business hours when you offer it in exchange with the purchase of a new one. The law does not say whether there is a charge.

Before you go

Keep damaged, swollen or leaking batteries separate and tell the operator.
Ask which battery types are accepted; car batteries often go somewhere different.
